I’m not sure that formula justifies being called genre-defining. But true to the base game, Killing Floor didn’t feature a story, and the entire “mission” was a single area with random trader spawns after each “wave”.

For example, the original Killing Floor, which has a similar basis, was originally a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 and debuted in 2005. Well, that gets a little tricky, but I’m going to say yes. Then it’s over to you to tell me how wrong I am, in the comments! Next, I’ll cover a game that’s very similar to the original, then (hopefully!) any games that have surpassed it since, and finally any games that do things in a unique way, but still tipping their hat to the original. I’ll start with a bit of history about the most famous game representing the genre.

IYL will be a short series of articles delving into various genres and looking at the best examples in each. this game was a waste of $60 and valve should be ashamed for charging that much for this half assed game.What’s this? An entirely new genre, you say? Well, arguably that’s exactly what Valve presented to the public in 2008 with the original Left 4 Dead, and its superlative sequel the following year. this game is at best a rental and thats if you REALY REALY REALY like killing zombies. this just feels so rushed and just slapped together. its like ok why would i want to its the same thing through all 4 lvls run to a vehicle kill the same zombies over and over with a grand total of 5 higher type zombies like the tank and witch which arnt difuctlt to put down. after i beat it on both normal and the hardest diffuculty which was 2 days i had no desire to want to play it again. even on the hardest diffuculty me and my friends had this done in 4.5 hours. its just way to short i mean to beat a game in 3 hours just shouldnt be. this game the way it is probubly woulda been great 6 years ago on the originla xbox i mean the graphics already look like the belong there. cause thats about what it looks and plays like. Im suprised a company like valve a company who made games like half life 1 and 2 and Portal come out with such a half assed game, this is such a bare bones game basically there meeting musta went some thing like this 'i got a idea lets make a game with zombies and make it 4 player co-op' any thing els 'no thats it dont need bosses or a story, well make it beatable in alittle over 3 hours and just toss in a few guns and call it a day.' this game should have been released as a budget game for like $20. If Left 4 Dead tried this I think it would be a different game, people would've compared it to Resident Evil or something and would've gotten lost in the shuffle. It was all about simple fun, not trying to make every game into an epic RPG-like experience which in my opinion slows and stunts the fun **** like this. But sometimes your NPCs are useless when you are incapacitated or they fall off a building and die. Don't get me wrong, I did not have online access when I first got this so I played it solo and still loved it. The only frustrating element I found was the NPCs if you play solo. The game just doesn't call for it, though. I do think it might've been cool to have included in game the character backgrounds, where they came from and how they found each other. There's witty banter between your team during the campaign. I don't mind because it gives me time to cool my heels, get up and grab a soda or something.

It's not supposed to have dozens of cut scenes, super deep characters, tons of dialogue.

Sure you play the same levels, but the hordes will come from different areas, and special infected are well circulated throughout the levels. This game gives you variety unlike other zombie games. Exactly what is it you want? This is a zombie shooter. I found it unique and wanted to replay it to get a different experience. The whole point of left 4 dead is that each campaign is its own episode, like a movie. Seriously? It's not that kind of game either. There's also complaints about lack of story. That would be like comparing **** to mangos: both are fruits but completely different. It's funny how tunnel visioned people become, wanting every game to be like their favorite game. I've heard some want to compare it to COD just because it's a FPS. Is it a perfect shooter? No, there is no such thing. In 2008 when it was released I got really sick and this game kept me entertained for weeks while I recovered.
